Chapter 504 Going deeper

While Su and Kosmo were searching the room, Sakura, who was stationed outside the door, saw a figure passing by at the end of the corridor.

Walk out of the door on the left and enter the door on the right.

Her eyes widened slightly, and despite the darkness, she still saw that the other person's hair was blue-black, and it was Nozomi.

Without thinking, Sakura quickly stepped forward and reached the end of the corridor. She looked at the room Naki finally entered, which was empty.

Sakura paused outside the door for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and entered the room wrapped in darkness like a monster's abyss.

Squeak——!

Behind Sakura, the wooden door slowly closed without anyone pulling it.

……

In the room where Su and Kosmo were, they were not aware of Sakura's disappearance yet and were still searching carefully.

"There is a secret passage."

Kosmo lay down under the bed and found that several wooden boards were loose in the center of the bed. With a slight pull, a secret door appeared.

Su also lay down, glanced at the entrance of the deep secret passage, and asked, "Shall we go in?"

"Ah."

In order to find the truth, even Kosmer, who is very afraid of ghosts and the unknown, will not flinch.

"Miss Sakura, you..."

Su turned around, but did not sense Sakura's breath at the door.

"cherry?"

Su stood up and came to the door. There was no one in the long corridor.

"..."

Things are getting bigger and bigger.

Su believed that Sakura was not someone who would leave her post easily. She was either attracted by something and left voluntarily, or she was attacked by an intruder... But is that really possible? The successful attack on Hen can be explained by the hostage threat, but Sakura is alone. Is it possible that the other party really has the strength of a fusion warrior?

"Kosmo, we have to go downstairs and meet Kevin and the others first..."

Su returned to the room, only to find that Kosmo, who was still lying under the bed checking the secret passage, was nowhere to be found, and the secret passage was also closed.

Su lay down and stretched out his hand to pull, but the secret passage that could be opened easily did not move at all. Someone locked it from the inside!

Kosmo was probably pulled in by the other party and couldn't even shout.

It's a bit tricky...

Su slowly stood up, and suddenly a chill filled his whole body. He looked down slightly and saw one foot exposed from behind him.

Someone came behind me without knowing it!

It didn't arouse my alertness at all. The other party's strength really reached the level of a fusion warrior!

Su clenched his fists and mobilized his mental strength. He turned around suddenly, but his eyes widened when he saw the other party's appearance clearly.

"you……"

……

Outside the villa, on the cold mountain top covered with snowstorms, Velvet shivered and followed Alicia's footsteps. They had patrolled around the villa several times and couldn't find even a trace.

Thanks to the bad weather, even if there were clues, they were quickly buried. If you can find them, there will be ghosts.

"Alicia, let's go back. We have been searching such a small place for so long, and we really can't find any clues~"

"No, Pado has disappeared, traces are like evaporating from the world, Blanca and little Gratius, as well as Mebius and Xi who have been missing for a long time, they are probably facing a very tragic dilemma. , we can’t just give up!”

Alicia's head was already covered with snow, and it all fell off with a slight shake.

"No, I feel like this is a bit strange tonight. A guy who can defeat the fusion warrior suddenly appears. It's impossible no matter how you think about it, right?"

Velvet's lips were frozen by the air-conditioning, but her mind was as clear as ever. Thinking of certain doubts, she felt more and more unlikely that the outsiders' speculations had been made before.

"Listen to me, I have a guess..."

Before Velvi could finish her words, Alicia stopped her with a "shhh".

"Don't talk yet, Velvet. I seem to see a figure appearing over there..."

"?"

Velvet followed Alicia's line of sight and saw no figure anywhere except snow.

But looking at Alicia's determined look, could it be that she really didn't see it?

"I gonna go see."

"Hey! Wait!"

Alicia ignored Velvet's obstruction and just ran towards the darkness.

"...Then I'd better go back."

Velvet retracted her hand and made a decision without thinking.

Anyway, Alicia would be fine by herself, but catching up by herself would be the most dangerous thing.

"Go back and turn on the heater...ah?"

Does the wind seem to be blowing on the back of your neck?

It is not the cold wind in winter, but the hot breath that belongs to living things exhaled from the mouth.

In other words, a certain guy is behind me now!

"Ahem, I think we have something to discuss... Uh-huh!"

Velvet's gun-drawing hand was quickly controlled, and the sound of her struggle was easily covered up by the sound of wind and snow.

After a few minutes, several more figures appeared at the place where Velvet disappeared. They were Kevin, Destobia and Penny who came out to look for the two of them. They used flashlights and became the only ones on the dark mountain top. light source.

"Is this...Vilvi's hat?"

Kevin knelt down and picked up the things that Velvet left behind at the scene of the accident. There were not many snow patches on the magic hat, and it seemed that its owner had cleaned it up not long ago.

Kevin handed the magic hat to the two people behind him to watch, and said in a solemn tone: "Vilvi was probably killed, and Alicia's whereabouts are unknown."

"Eh? Miss Velvet, she..."

Penny covered her lips, her pupils shaking after hearing the bad news.

"And Captain... No, Captain, she is very powerful. Nothing will happen to her!" Destobia scanned the snow with a flashlight, and finally found vague footprints right in front of her. If she came later, I'm afraid it will be completely covered by the heavy snow.

"Are these the captain's footprints? Why is she walking that way?" Penny raised her flashlight and shone it towards the end of the footprints little by little. No one was there.

"……I gonna go see."

"No! Shouldn't we go back and report the news to everyone at this time?"

Destobia didn't agree with Kevin's decision and quickly stopped it.

"Not long after Velvet was attacked, Alicia may have been lured away, and she had to stop the attacker before he attacked her."

Kevin no longer wanted to watch his companions dwindle. Although Alicia was very strong, as long as there was a slight possibility of being attacked, Kevin didn't want to ignore it.

As for himself...as long as the attacker is not stronger than the Herrscher, Kevin has a certain degree of confidence that he can defeat the attacker alone.

"I'll keep going, what about you?"

Kevin turned back to Destobia and Petunia for advice.
